In very few areas of public life is the disconnect between what we are told and what really is so shocking as in business news. In fact, it’s easy to believe that the vast majority of business is done by big, greedy, publicly traded corporations, but it is wrong: very wrong.

19.6 million Americans work for companies with fewer than 20 workers

18.4 million for firms of between 20 and 99 workers

14.6 million -100 to 499 workers

Only 47.7 million for firms with 500 or more.

And in other parts of the world the numbers are even higher. Uncorporate SME's drive the world, just not the stock market.
